She fell beneath the white moon and the dark blue velvet sky pricked to let light through.
She fell through the warm night air, the wind rushing past her ears and her dress billowing.
She fell past the edge of the cliff, the mossy green giving way to a sheer grey cliff.
She fell, towards the dark water, towards the sharp rocks, towards the rushing waves, towards her end.
She fell.
She should have broken through the water, hit against the rocks.
She should have broken bones and split skin.
She should have a face of pain and fear.
But instead of the waves, she fell onto a wall of muscle, sturdy but soft at the same time.
But instead of the rocks, soft hair brushes her cheek.
But instead of the pain, warmth soaks through her thin dress and her fingers search blindly for something, anything, that will tell her what she is now laying on.
But instead of the fear, her fingers brush against hair, long white hair, a long neck and body covered in pure white hair.
But instead of the death she was promised by the sea, she was caught by a creature so beautiful, a sea horse. So blindingly white it blends into the sea foam, racing along under the curling tip of the waves.
She fell.
And thought kindly on by the creature.
It gallops under the wave and beside the sea foam to the shore, her eyes still blurry from the wind, her fingers curled around the creatures mane.
